Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 64GB Review

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 review: old wine in a bezel-less bottle

The Redmi Note 5 is a solid VFM offering with dependable performance, decent cameras and a great battery life in a futuristic avatar with minimal bezels at the fascia

Verdict

If you already own a Redmi Note 4, there`s a little reason to upgrade to its forerunner unless you want a bezel-less form factor. But if you really want to change your phone, we`d suggest going for the Redmi Note 5 Pro, which offers better internals and dual cameras at a slightly higher price point. For others, like every Redmi smartphone, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is a solid value-for-money offering with dependable performance, decent cameras and a great battery life – in a futuristic avatar with minimal bezels at the fascia. The 3GB RAM variant is priced the same as the last year`s base model – Rs 9,999, while the higher-end version will retail at Rs 11,999.Unlike previous years however, Xiaomi`s Redmi Note series isn`t a trendsetter, and it`s actually trailing the competition. It`s toughest rival is the Honor 9 Lite (review), which not only brings a bezel-less display and a stand-out glass-sandwich design, but also offers a quad-camera setup. That said, Xiaomi`s latest scores in the battery department when compared to Honor`s offering. Another competitor is the 10.or G, which offers almost the same specs as the Redmi Note 5, but adds dual rear cameras to the mix.All said and done, none of the competitors can match the brand equity that Xiaomi has built in such a short span of time, and if you are looking for a smartphone priced under Rs 12,000, the Redmi Note 5 is hard to ignore.

Iphone are sold more than MI but they never get out of stock. U r just creating hype by flash sales. Worst experience ever. Plz stop it if u want to b in long run in India.

Unsatisfactory

worst flash sale ever!
xiomi trying to sell the lower version of their phones by putting sold out to higher and better versions of their phones.
worst marketing strategy EVER.
now, I got a mail saying my review doesn't confirm to your guidelines, that is because I am condemning you.

Clearly , Redmi Note 5 Pro is better as it has much faster CPU, More RAM i.e 4GB and 6GB variants , dual camera and better storage. The major disadvantage of Infinix Hot S3 is that it lacks FM Radio and even Headphone jack is absent in it.
